How are the Children (Neglect Abuse) 3 CEUS Clinical – VIRTUAL

This presentation is for General hours and will account for three ceus. It is appropriate for all social workers as we all are mandated reporters. It is still the traditional greeting among the fabled African Masai warrior tribe to acknowledge the high value placed on their children’s well-being. Even warriors with no children of their own always give the traditional answer:” All the children are well.” Meaning that peace and safety prevail and recognizing that society’s reason for being, its proper function and responsibility, is to care for and nurture its young.


“All the children are well” means life is good. It means the daily struggle for existence, even among a poor population, does not preclude proper caring for its children. Child abuse and neglect is a community concern. Each community has a legal and moral obligation to promote safety, permanency, and well being of children, which includes responding effectively to child maltreatment.
